Ramagundam Airport (IATA: RMD, ICAO: VORG) is serving the city of Ramagundam, in the state of Telangana, India.

This airport is located close to Basanth Nagar Kesoram cement factory. It was used when the Government of India was operating Vayudoot a subsidiary of Air India and Indian Airlines. After the closure of Vayudoot, it has not been regular use. As of 2010, it is only used for landing of any VIP's flights or for emergency landing of flights.

The State Government is planning to develop this airport as a part of developing a third airport in Telangana[3].
